Examine the relationship between brain structure and cognition in preterm children randomly assigned to a liberal red blood cell (RBC) transfusion strategy as neonates. Intelligence, achievement, and neuropsychological measures were assessed and structural imaging was obtained (n = 26; 38% male). Global brain volumes were related to cognitive outcome. Additionally, females performed lower on verbal fluency; lower performance was related to temporal white matter volume. Findings provide possible evidence of the adverse effect of a liberal RBC transfusion strategy in which females had decreased temporal lobe white matter directly related to poor verbal fluency.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 May 2018.
All research outputs
#14,781,203
of 22,756,196 outputs
Outputs from Developmental Neuropsychology
#244
of 373 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#127,348
of 226,132 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Developmental Neuropsychology
#4
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,756,196 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 373 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 226,132 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
